Rename a Nexus Insight report template

Renaming a report template involves the following steps and always includes editing the relevant JSON file.

To rename a report template:

3. Right-click the JSON file and rename it.

4. Open the JSON file for the renamed template in your preferred text editor and change its ID (see the description for id).
   Important: Each template in Nexus Insight must have an ID that is unique within the Templates folder. (Valid input is ASCII and Unicode, up to 100 characters.)
